We really enjoyed this tour and felt like it covered an impressive amount of New York in one day. We got to see Times Square, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Fifth Avenue, Madison Square Park, Greenwich Village, SoHo, the 9/11 Memorial and World Trade Center, Wall Street, and Battery Park, plus views of the Statue of Liberty. It really checked off the major NYC sights on our list. My favorite parts were definitely the 9/11 Memorial and World Trade Center and getting to see the Statue of Liberty. Both were memorable stops and some of my favorite photos from the entire trip. The fully enclosed bus was great, and both our driver and tour guide were excellent. One of the best parts of this tour is basically having chauffeur service throughout the day. You get dropped off, explore with the guide, and the bus is there to pick you back up. It makes seeing this much of Manhattan incredibly easy. My only two suggestions would be more of Central Park and a little more seat space on the bus. I would have loved to explore more of the park rather than just getting a taste of it. Overall, this is a great tour, especially for a first NYC visit. You cover a lot, learn along the way, and get some fantastic photo opportunities without having to figure out transportation between every stop. Definitely recommend.

Great tour to see all of the major New York City sites in a 6 hour tour. Our guide and driver were excellent and knowledgeable. Great overview of the city, especially for first time visitors to Manhattan.
